Depends on what “upgrade” you’re referring to. If someone paid for full self driving or autopilot, it’s with the care for life now.
I *think* if you had an older tesla that included lifetime premium connectivity and sell it, that it downgrades to standard connectivity. Not exactly sure on that though.

Yeah, I was thinking the same. Maybe compare with the roadster when it finally is released. Would be much closer if not faster.

Where the original poster was WAY OFF in his comparison was using a 2015 Tesla vs a 2021 Porsche. Had the comparison been 2021 Tesla Model S Plaid vs 2021 Porsche Taycan Turbo S it would have been a different story. The posted comparison was apples to 6 year old apples. Really??

The reviews are coming out and they so far are good.

Compelling car, but lack of AP and a supercharger nationwide network are the current reasons to sway me. In 5 years it will be different, but for now Tesla has the first mover lead and ease of use around the country.
